Instant drinks
one tablet, and you have coke, cordial, tea, coffee, ... | |
If you need cures for upset tummies, there are many pills from the drug stores to try to settle the stomach. But to add to tap water, for drinking, as a drink?
Combine that with other tablets, to add fizz, or to add heat or cold, and then we have a very wide seklection of flavored drinks, fizzy
or not, hot or cold.
A review of Fizzies.

I'm not sure what you're suggesting here. Some kind of kit that separates out the various aspects of a drink, for the user to combine at will? |
|
| |
How do you imagine tablets that make things cold/hot work? |
|
| |
[I'm familiar with non-medicinal effervescent drink tables and packages, too; but that's still a far cry from real carbonation.] |
|
| |
I like the idea of "instant Coke" -- just think of hiking in the woods and you want a
Coke but you have to carry the damn cans. So if you have this "Coke pill" that weighs
next to nothing, you drop it into a cup of stream water and voila, Coke without making
a litterbug.
There is already Instant Tea, et al. Why not Co |

Peter: It's a little difficult for people to haul soda fountains around with them. |
|
| |
Who needs soda fountains? There are many recorded carbonated springs where I live. (Colorado) |

When I was a kid I tried something that was either Fizzies or a knock-off, and it was "cola" flavored. It was an experience to cure anyone of the "I'll try anything once" philosophy. |
|
| |
This topic is instant thinking rather than instant drinking. |
|
| |
We're naked apes, so the pleasure-centres in our amygdalas "go ape" when we taste ripe fruir or an imitation thereof. |
|
| |
We've long had sucking pills for for that imitation; we call them candy or sweets. |
|
| |
Some of them [sherbet?] dissolve instantly, by fizzing, a wonderful word which links pleasure with a little bit of pain to wake you up. [Sweet-and-sour does that too.] |
|
| |
Which leads to our constant search for stimulation, and that's not only an ape thing. |
|
| |
All animal life forms have it wired everywhere into their nervous systems - "Stay alert or die". |
|
| |
And as you might expect being alert "feels good" to reward us. |
|
| |
That's why coffee makes us feel good - caffeine happens to resemble a "stay alert" messenger in the nervous system. |
|
| |
Add sugar, make it so hot it "almost" hurts and we can't get enough of the mixture. |
|
| |
Hold on - what about your instant pill?. |
|
| |
Well there're are caffeine pills in pharmacies extracted from big city coffee-grounds I'm told, but they're poor dissolvers. |
|
| |
But I can see myself getting into the morass of addictive substances so I'll conclude
by remarking that "outdoors" shops stock a wide range of food and drink concentrates. |
|
| |
If they don't fulfil your dream gz, soon there'll be a patch you stick on your forehead and you'll dream you're drinking anything you want. |
|
| |
I'm branding it "ThinkaDrink, the supernatch patch". |
|
| |
I used to take calcium tablets, and I loved the "soda" effect. |
|
| |
Pop Rocks, the candy, dissolve in most anything including water and make it taste pretty good, albeit like candy syrup. |
|
| |
Oh, they also make it fizzy...don't know if it's carbonation or not. |
